Pathways 
Use the Pathways subtab to review descriptive statements representing a major component of a strategy, as articulated at the highest level in the vision. Pathways are most often drawn from an organization’s internal processes or the customer value proposition, but may also be drawn from key financial goals. The key is that pathways represent vertically linked groupings of objectives across several scorecard perspectives (at a minimum, the Customer and Internal perspectives).
Pathways are often stated as catchy phrases or “buzz words” that are easy for the organization to remember and internalize. Pathways are an extension of themes, with the addition of the dimension of time.
Prerequisites
Your strategy administrator has set up the Pathways subcomponent for this context.
To view the plan line and actual line, your strategy administrator has implemented the plan line and/or actual line when setting pathways.
The scorecard administrator has created a scored context to make the Actual label become a link.
Features
The Pathways subtab has these features:
The name of each pathway appears above each curve. The dates below each curve represent the peak date for that pathway.
The actual and plan lines point out the progress of pathways at one point in time. The lines help to show what pathways are in progress, and the extent to which they are in progress.
The actual line represents the progress toward the pathway in relation to its peak date and the current date. The actual line is like a “You are here” designation on a map. The actual line appears in red when progress is behind the current plan date. The actual line is shown in black directly on the plan line when the progress is exactly on mark with the current date. If the plan date and actual date are the same, the line would have a label On Plan. The actual line is shown in green when the progress is ahead of the current date. The Actual link brings you to the Context Details subtab in the Scorecard component so you can review the status of the context.
The plan line represents today's date. The Plan link brings you to the goal diagram in the Goal Diagram 1 subtab in the Strategy component.
You can review details about a pathway including its peak date, associated links, and associated objectives.
You can go to the scorecard from the Actual link.
You can select the vision statement to display an information box.
